If the processor is carrying out certain computations (utilissation of more than 1 %), then we adopt a probabilistic approach in modelling γ, such that the more total memory is in use, the higher in probability that a memory access is performed: γ = memoryUsage ∑ i = 1 n s i, (19) .
Consequently, to obtain a high number of simulated trees, parallel simulations were implemented using a cluster of computers where each processor was carrying out an entire simulation, i.e. five consecutive years of simulated tree growth.
Each zone is placed on a separate processor and inter-processor communication is carried out using the Message Passing Library/Interface (MPL/MPI).
Communication between processors at the subdomain boundaries is carried out with MPI message-passing library which enabled significant flexibility in porting the distributed-memory implementation of KIVA-3 to various architectures ranging from SGI Origin 2000 to Cray T3E and recently a Beowulf cluster.
Dehydration, cleaning and infiltration process were carried out in an automatic tissue processor (SHANDON, CITADEL 1000, England).
Most of the imaging data analysis is carried out on 24 dedicated, dual processor, high memory workstations running RedHat Linux.
Most of the imaging data analysis is carried out on 24 dedicated dual processor-high memory workstations running RedHat Linux.
After we achieve the initial performance of the fuel processor, partial load operation was carried out to test the performance and reliability of the fuel processor at various loads.
The text marked as SLAVE, PROCESSOR j corresponds to the code implemented in parallel by each of the slave processors; the rest of the computations are carried out by the master processor.
Personal computers are not sufficiently powerful to cope with SDA requirements so analyses were carried out on four processors of the Vanderbilt Multi-Processor Integrated Research Engine (VAMPIRE), a 110-processor computer system running the Linux operating system.
